24 up goes Antwerp! Lunchlecture by Christian Rapp

The 24UP committee organizes a lunch lecture by Christian Rapp! In this lecture he will tell us about his profession as architect and master architect of Antwerp, as well as about the city itself.
There will be a free lunch and through this lecture the location of the 24UP will be revealed! After the lecture you will be able to sign as a team for the 24UP at the CHEOPS desk.
The 24UP is a 24 hour design contest in groups of four which will be held the 10th and 11th of February. After the 24 hours, every group will present the results and the jury will decide on a winner for who a price will be waiting!

24 warming up big succes

Just like last year, the 24up commitee started of their promotion with a 24warming up. Students in groups of two made a design for a bar on top of Vertigo in just a lunch break. This small design contest was given by Renato Kindt to warm up the students who would like to take part in the real deal, the 24 up itself. From the about 8 groups that took part, Renato himself chose a winning group and were rewarded with a few architectural magazines.

Participants working hard

There's no place like Almere...

Off we go! Pen scratching, tearing of sketching paper and computer tattle overrule the sounds of bouncing basketballs, stomping shoes and Ricochet hockey sticks in the sport centre Almere Poort since half past two. The clock is ticking and the participants start in good spirits and enthusiasm to the assignment.

On our way

Come and warm up for the 24up with Renato Kindt!

On tuesday january 6th 2015 in the lunchbreak at 12:45-13.30 Renato Kindt, teacher of hand drawing, will organize a 24-up warming up! 24 minutes. One secret mission. One secret location. (no, not really; it will take place in the hand drawing room).

24UP #15 on 15th and 16th of january 2015

On the 15th and 16th of January, the 24UP will be held for the fifteenth time.
The 24UP is a multidisciplinary design contest organised yearly by CHEOPS, study association of the build environment. For this contest, students of the build environment are given exactly 24 hours create a masterplan for an area given in the design brief. Throughout the years, this activity has grown more and more professional and well-known. This has resulted in creative and innovative solutions for municipalities as well as businesses.
The location as well as the design brief will be kept a secret up until the day of the 24UP. To introduce the students to the design brief there will be several lectures from involved parties before the contest starts. During the contest, where teams consisting of four people work on all the different disciplines, many supervisors will be available for the students when they have questions. After the 24 hours are over, a professional and experienced panel of judges will judge the different masterplans and announce a winner. Afterwards all submissions will be combined into a final booklet which will be open for viewing within the faculty of the build environment, Vertigo on the TU Eindhoven campus.
